I received this as a gift in February from my husband as he knows I love mushrooms. I will admit I was skeptical at first that it would work. However, within 3 weeks we harvested 6 large portobella mushrooms that were about 3 - 4 inches in diameter. We marinated them and grilled them. Delicious! I am eager to see what happens for the next batch. The key is to follow the directions completely and do water everyday. My kids enjoyed seeing the mushrooms double in size each day. We kept the box in the basement where it is dark but not pitch black as we have windows on the north and south walls so some light filtered in but the box was in a place that it was not receiving any direct sunlight. We have recommended it to others and we know of one person that bought it as a gift for their daughter and son-in-law. It is a unique gift and something fun to watch grow, especially during the winter months when nothing is growing outside!

The kit was very easy and successful for me. I have the perfect growing temperature and small windows in the basement, so perfect growing conditions. I harvested my first mushrooms this evening and they are so much better than store bought I can't believe the difference. The mushrooms came up in 13 days. I followed the directions to the letter.

We have tried these kits twice and never got one mushroom. Tried to diligently follow the guidelines, especially the second time. Still -- nothing.
